Highly collectible Hattie Carnegie dragonfly pin, goldtone metal with yellow enamel and rhinestones and measuring approximately 1.0" x 1.5". You'll love the detail on this pin, from the metalwork in the dragonfly wings to the two ruby rhinestone eyes and yellow enameling which really adds to the design flair. Hattie Carnegie was born in Vienna, Austria in 1886 and when 18 years old she emigrated to America with her family. Soon thereafter in the early 1900s, she opened her first dress and hat shops in New York City. From this humble beginning she built up her diversified fashion business incorporated as Hattie Carnegie Inc. in 1918. At around the time of incorporation, she introduced jewelry she manufactured largely to complement her dresses and clothing line. Her jewelry is always of the highest quality and was expensive even in its day, often worn by New York and Hollywood theater and movie celebrities. She was known for whimsical themes using multiple materials combined in interesting ways, with techniques utilizing enameling, faux pearls, rhinestones, and beads. A Hattie Carnegie dragonfly pin is sure to generate complements when you wear it, and it's properly marked on the back Hattie Carnegie. The pin is in very good condition and comes to you direct from a major Hilton Head, SC oceanfront estate collection of collectible marked jewelry.
